WORKMANS TIME-RECORDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 704,194, dated July 8,1902.

Application filed September 26, 1900. Serial No. 31,145. (No model.)

T at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFONSO L. JAvNEs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Buf- 21.10, in the county of Erie and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WorkmensTime-Record ers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists in a machine for recording the time of arrivaland departure at factories, stores, offices, and other places of I cardinto the machine, automatic printing mechanism being provided in themachine which is brought into action by the card.

Another object of the invention is to provide a machine into which thecards are always thrust to the same extent.

These objects having been accomplished, the workman is only required topush his card into the machine and withdraw it again in order to haveprinted thereon the time of his arrival or departure. A great saving oftime is thereby effected as compared with the use of old devices inwhich the workman was required to place his card in a machine distanceswhich varied from day to day and over machines in which the workman wasrequired to insert his card and then operate a handle or lever toactuate the printing mechanism. In this improved machine it isimpossible to mark a card in the wrong place when the machine isproperly adjusted, and a common defect of machines of this classheretofore in use is thus avoided.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view ofa completetime-recorder provided with my improvements and two card-racks inproximity thereto, one to receive the cards when the workmen are atwork, the other to receive the cards when not at work. Fig. 2 is a frontelevation of the lower end of the recorder. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectionof the device taken on line A A, Fig. 5, showing the time-stainp inposition for recording the time-card in the space provided thereon forMonday. Fig. a is a similar view showing the time-card in engagementwith the actuating device, the timestamp in position for recording thetime on the time-card in the space provided thereon for Thursday. Fig. 5is a plan view of myimproved device, the casing being shownin section ona horizontal plane. Fig. 6 is a vertical section on line B B, Fig. 5.Fig. 7 is an enlarged detached side elevation of the actuating mechanismand the hammer of the time-stamp, the time-card being shown in dottedlines against the abutment thereof, the actuatingbar being in engagementwith the hammer, which is elevated thereby. Fig. 8 is a similar view,the abutment being on its return movement after the card has beenstamped, which was accomplished by the actuatingbar releasing thehammer.

Fig. let is a perspective view of a time-card adapted for usein the sheath. Fig. 14: is an edge view of a card adapted for usewithout a sheath. Fig. 15 is a detached perspective view of the cardguide or receiver. Fig. 16 is a transverse section on line C C, Fig. 3.Fig. 17 is an inverted sectional plan view of the card-sheath, on anenlarged scale, having a card inserted therein. Fig. 18 is an enlargedlongitudinal section through the card guide or receiver and thecard-sheath, showing the position of the detent-pawl when inserting thecard in the machine. Fig. 19 is a similar view, the card-sheath havingarrived to the end of its inward travel, which allows the detent-pawl toenter a slot formed in the card-sheath. Fig. 20 is a similar viewshowing the card-sheath as being withdrawn from the card guide orreceiver. Fig. 21 is a sectional View of the time mechanism.

Referring to the drawings, in which like reference-signs indicate thesame parts throughout the several views, a indicates a casing, which maybe of any form suitable to inclose and support the mechanism. Themechanism comprises three principal parts-the time stamp s, the timemechanism If, and the stampactuating mechanism 16.

The timestamp comprises mainly a series of movable type suitable forprinting the hours of the dayand means for impressing said type upon acard or paper. Any suitable time-stamp may be employed, and it is notdeemed necessary to illustrate all the details of the mechanism forshifting the type, as such devices are common. As illustrated,thetype-stamp comprises a pair of type-wheels 1, which are actuated bysuitable mechanism driven by a gear 2 and a flexible shaft 3, said shaftbeing driven by the clockwork t. The time-wheels are mounted upon anarbor 1 in a frame 5, which slides upon suitable fixed guide-rods 6.Supported above the frame 5 in suitable bearings 7 is a pivoted hammer8, constituting an impression device which cooperates with thetype-wheels 1 to print the time upon an intermediate card. The hammer iscarried by an arm 9, jointed to a hub 10, and said arm is prevented fromresting upon a card by a spring 11, Figs. 7, 8, and 11. The springprevents the hammer from striking a second blow'when it is dropped, thusinsuring the printing of the card in one place only. The hub isprevented from turning more than a given distance by a fixed abutment 12upon one of the bearings 7. Upon the hub is a tooth 13, which cooperatesWith a rack 14 to raise the hammer in a manner to be hereinafterdescribed. The time-stamp is movable on the ways or guides 5 to permitof its adjustmentinto seven positions corresponding to the seven days ofthe week, so that an impression may be made on a card in a givenposition on seven different lines-that is, the time for seven days maybe printed upon the card while the latter is in the same position in themachine. The timestamp is moved on the ways 6 by means of an elbow-lever15, which is connected to the frame of the stamp bylink 16 and whichcarries a sector-gear 17, engaging a pinion-13, fast on a seven-sideddrum 19, upon which are printed the days of the week. The drum 19 isadjacent to an opening 20in the case a, so that the day for which thedrum is set may be observed from the outside. The drum may be turned oradjusted by any suitable means. As shown, it is provided with a key-post21, Figs. 5 and 6, for this purpose. The sector 17 is guided by a roller22, pivoted in the end of a fixed arm 23. When any given day is seenthrough the opening 20, the time-stamp is located to print the time uponthe corresponding section of the time-card.

Referring to Fig. 17, 24: indicates a Workmans time-card having in thefirst column at the left the days of the week, in the next two columnsspaces for the times of the workmans entrance and departure in themorning, in the next two columns spaces for the times of his entranceand departure'in the evening, and in the last column a space for thetotal for the workmans time for each day of the week. The adjustment ofthe stamp for the several days of the week has just been described. Theadjustment of the card for the different times of the day is effected asfollows: A case or receiver 25, Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 15, is provided, intowhich the card is thrust for printing. This card-receiver is just wideenough to receive a card, and by adjusting the receiver laterallydifferent columns on the card are presented to the time-stamp s. Thisadjustment is effected by means of a handle 26, which turns a shaft 27,carrying a pinion 28. Pinion 28 is in mesh with a rack 29, which isconnected by an inclined bar 31 with a lug upon the receiver 25. Uponthe shaft 27 is an indicatorwheel 32, bearing the words Morning in, Noonout, &c., or similar words to indicate the directions in which theworkmen go at certain hours of the day. The handle 26 is turned untilthe proper inscription on the wheel 32 appears at an opening 33 in thefront of the case. The handle 26 is limited in its movements by pins 34to prevent turning it too far in either direction. The cardreceiver 25has its forward end guided in an opening 35 in the casing 61., and itsrear end slides in transverse guides 36, attached to the time-stampframe 5. The guides 36 support at their inner ends the bearings 7, whichcarry the impression-hammer.

The impression device is actuated upon the insertion of a card bymechanism which will now be described.

In the rear of and above the time-stamp is a fixed bracket 37 ofpeculiar construction. A lever 38 has two branches 30, which em bracethe bracket 37 and are pivoted thereto at their upper ends, Figs. 7 and10. Lever 38 is, termed an abutment lover, as it serves as an abutmentto limit the inward movement of the cards 24L, which cards engage thelower end of the lever. The toothed bar 14. extends between the branches39 and is pivotally connected at its middle portion with theabutment-lever 38. Bar 11 will be termed the actuating-bar, for thereason that it engages and actuates the impressionhammer S. Theactuating-bar has a series of seven teeth 40 on its under edge, eachadapted to engage the tooth 13 on the hammer-hub 10 to actuate thehammer in a manner to be presently described. The teeth 40 are so spacedthat they are respectively in position to engage the tooth 13 in each ofthe seven positions of the time-stamp corresponding to the seven days ofthe week. The lever 38 and bar 14: are normally held in a forwardposition, as illustrated in Fig. 3, by On each side of the rear end ofThese springs i1. bar 14- is an antifriction-roller 42.

rollers engage somewhat-circular grooves 43 on the inner faces of wings44, depending from the bracket 37.

The operation of the impression device is as follows: The actuating-barnormally stands with its forward end raised slightly above the tooth 13,as shown in Fig. 3. When a card is inserted, its inner end engages thelower end of lever 38, moving the lever and the bar 14 rearward. thebeginning of the movement, owing to the upward curvature of grooves 43,permitting the toothed end of the bar, which is heavier, to descenduntil one of the teeth 40 engages the tooth 13. The continued inwardmovement of the card causes the actuating-bar to raise theimpression-hammer and then to release it, the releasing being caused bythe downward curvature of grooves 43. As the card reaches the innermostlimit of its travel the impression-hammer drops and causes the type onthe type-wheels indicating the hour and minute to beimpressed on thecard. For the purpose of making a visible impression an inking device,such as atype-writer ribbon, (not shown,) is used. The limit of inwardmovement of the card is determined by the rear portion of the grooves43. As the card is quickly inserted and quickly withdrawn the rollers 42follow the grooves 43 rearward, then downward, and then forward. Fig. 7shows the bar moving rearward, and Fig. 8 shows it moving forward, theforward movement being caused by the springs 41.

The mechanism described may be operated by a simple card of stiffmaterial, as illustrated in Fig. 14. I If it is desired, however, to useathin card, itis preferable to strengthen the same by the use of asuitable sheath. In Figs. 12, 13, and 17 is shown a sheath 45, of sheetmetal, rubber, or other suitable material, which protects the edges andportions of the upper and lower faces of the card and forms a rigidinstrument wherewith to operate the impression device of the recorder.The sheath is'cut away above and below to expose the portions of thecard which are to be printed. The card may be held in the sheath in anysuitable manner. As shown, it is interlocked with the sheath by means ofa spring-tongue 46, which enters a slit 47 when the card is pushed intothe sheath to its fullest extent and then slightly drawn forward. On oneedge of the sheath is a rib 4-8, which enters a corresponding groove inthe card-receiver 25, thus rendering it impossible to place the card inthe receiver wrong side up.

In Figs. 15 to 20, inclusive, is shown a device for preventing the cardfrom being withdrawn before it has been pushed into the machinesufficiently far to operate the printing mechanism. This devicecomprises a pawl 49, pivoted at 50 to the bracket 51, extending upwardlyfrom one side of the card-receiver 25. The pawl has its lower endrounded and is normally held in mid-position, as shown in Fig. 15, by aspring 52. The pawl cooper- The rear end of bar 14 rises at ates with aslot 53 in the card or in the cardsheath as follows: As the card ispushed in the pawl swings to the rear, as shown in Fig. 18. It will beseen that if an attempt is made to withdraw the card while the pawl isin this position the card will be clamped and held strongly by the pawl.The card cannot be withdrawn until the slot 53 reaches a position whichpermits the pawl to swing into it, which position is that in which thecard operates the printing mechanism. After the pawl has entered theslot 53, as shown in Fig. 19, the card may be withdrawn readily, thepawl swinging in the other direction freely, as shown in Fig. 2 1

From the foregoing description the opera, tion of the invention will befully understoodand it need, therefore, be only briefly recapitulated.The machine when constructed as illustrated is set four times each day.It is first set to correspond to the day of the week, which moves thetime-stamp into proper position to print in the space on the cardalloted to the particular day. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the machine isset for Monday. During each day the machine is set to correspond to thedifferent movements of the workmen. Thus in the morning it is set withthe words Morning in at the indicator-opening 33. This will cause thecards to be printed in the first column at the left as the workmenenter. At noon-time it is first set for Noon out, which'causes the cardsto be printed in the second column as the workmen go out to dinner. Itis then set for Noon in and again in the evening set for Night out. Theworkmen keep their cards in two racks r which are arranged, as shown inFig. 1, on opposite sides of the recorder, and as they go in and outthey move the cards from one rack to the other in the direction in whichthey are going. The machine is set for the day of the week and the inand out movements of the workmen by an attendant in charge of it, andthe wheels of the time-stamp are controlled by the clock. The workmanhas, therefore, nothing to do but to push his card into the machine andwithdraw it again, and he always pushes it in to the same extent. Themaximum economy of the time of the workman is thereby accomplished, andthe greatest possible number of workmen are accommodated by one machine.Furthermore, the workman is prevented from stamping his time on thewrong part of the card, an error which is quite possible in othermachines.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the preciseconstruction and arrangement of mechanism illustrated and described, butis susceptible of being embodied in many different mechanical forms. Itis, further, to be understood that the time-card sheath is not essentialto the operation of the machine, but is preferable in some instances inwhich it may be desired to use cards which.

are of light material.

It is to be understood that in the following claims the Word card whennot associated with the sheath is to be considered as a broad term,including either a plain card or a card provided with a sheath orstiffening device. In other Words, a stiff card Without a sheath and amore flexible card provided with a sheath are equivalents for thepurposes of operating the time-stamp, and the Word card as used in theclaims is to be considered as covering all such equivalents.
